Cable Forum - View Single Post - 50M Frequently not getting 50M through wired connection

I have the 50MB service, but do not always get 50mb speed recently. I'm not worried about wireless speeds, just wired connection.
I have a Belkin N1 vision wireless router connected to my cable modem. Cabled into that I have a NAS and a few other devices, also a long Cat 5 cable which goes outside the house and back into another room where I have a 5 port Cisco switch with a Wireless access point, Apple TV and my Macbook.
My Macbook recently doesn't get 50MB (it used to regularly), it gets average 25-35MB speeds.
If i plug the Macbook directly into the Virgin modem I get 50MB.
If i plug the Macbook directly into the Belkin, then I get reduced speed again, occasionally 50MB, and when I plug into the Cisco i rarely get 50MB these days, it's very hit and miss.
Do you think some of my other devices are taking the bandwidth? I have a QNAP Turbo NAS, but i'm wondering if it's the Belkin that's causing issues...
any help or sugggestions greatly appreciated!
